I bought a trash can (20-gallon) for $13, air stone for $2, pump for like $15-20, air line for $5. After that you just need stuff to put in the bags. Oh, I bought those party favor bags, mesh, that people use for weddings from Amazon for $12 for a hundred. A box of Alfalfa, one of blood meal, and one of kelp meal were about $10 each. A 20lb bag of worm castings costs me about $17. That is all I can think about..though I just woke up.
But to be fully honest, I went a whole year doing teas and I am actually going to go back to bottle nutes this next year. The teas are great and once you get the correct balance, the plants love them, but the ease of just mixing a batch from bottle nutes and not having to wait or guess/plan ahead 24-48 hours is very convenient. When I say guess/plan ahead, I mean you have to gauge and really know when your soil is going to be dry/need-watering in a day or two from when you start the brew. It isn't too bad once you get uwitgeBut, like me, I have several plants and they don't all require watering at the same time either which makes it tougher. And my available time is depleting with my son now passing 1 year old, he is getting to be more and more fun to do stuff with and I find myself gardening a little less and less. Plus, the bottle nutes are super straight forward.
Not to dissuade you, of course. I would at least suggest trying everything and then choosing what works best for you!

Although i intended to use a scrog screen, i decided to hold off until next crop. But the canopy seemed to even out okay. I really need to get better at training my plants lol. My next crops training is embarrasing. So anyways. Ill post up flower pics at 35 or 36 days just to keep an eye on progress.
Thanks for tunin in. Let me know what you think of my first grow! Positivity and respect.

Looking really dank. Stacking nice
If you are using the line id recommend using ntfg's Aphrodites extraction and wouldn't be using molasses in my feedings ,you will eventually cause a lead blanket and choak off your bennie population. I only use molasses directly in a tea where you are boosting population in the millions. Good video at monster gardens YouTube channel on NectarForTheGods Scott explains this. Molasses can be way more harmful than good if not used properly.After two light feedings i dosed my girls hard today. I made up a batch of 2.5 gal of water
Nftg line i added...
medusas magic @ 2 tsp per gal
Gaia mania @ 2 tsp per gal
Herculean harvest @ 4 tbs per gal
Athenas aminas @ 1 tbs per gallon
Zeus juice @ 2 tsp per gallon
Demeters destiny @ 2 tsp per gallon
Then i dropped in 2 tsp of super thrive. Not sure why. Just got it thought it would help. Smells like the hydro store lol.
Also 3 tbs of bio bizz algae
And 3 tsp of rock dust micro nutrient.
Plus 2 1/2 tsp of grandmas molasses! Stinky shit. But its cool. See if it helps. Been dosing at 1 tsp per gal last two waterings as well.
Also... On top of all this i tossed in a TBS of bloom khaos. Only went over the recommended dose by 2.5 ML.. Phew.
Going to the store today to order more herc harv and bloom khaos. Hopefully my girls produce me some nice medicine.
There was a heat wave. It ranged from 79-84 throughout the last week in my flower room. Hope it didnt hurt my gals theyre used to 72-75 Degrees... Def gonna run my light cycle at night next run.
Anyhow, back down to 74-76 so.. Hope they didnt get too fd up. RH staying about 40 % daytime 60% nighttime. Added 171 cfm OUT the ceiling at night. Hopefully thatll lower my RH at night and protect me from PM or mold.
Thanks for tuning in

The plants are looking great! That does sound like some serious ppms in that batch though. The recommended dose on the superthrive is 1 drop per gal. I added it up and that is 42.5 tsp or 14.2 tbs per gallon and @ 2.5 gal thats 106tsp or 35.4 TBS! Did you already add that? If you did you might need to flush it out. My plants would spontaneously combust if I fed them that much, but I'm running all organic. I usually dosed less than the recommended dose when I used bottled nutes. I never came anywhere close to using that much at any week of bloom and in 5 gal batches instead of 2.5, I think at the height of flowering I was using about 3-4 TBS per 5 gals
Got a cup bro . ☺ checkin your grow out in learning more ☺ lol. Best advice I can give u and this comes from a tlo grower 30+yes experience . He told me keep it simple. I bet when I get to the end there will be fire on those branches ☺Thanks so much for your insight. So i gotta start drinkin coffee!
The soil i use has bark in it. (i didnt know it was bad when i started!) that tends to lean acidic... Its throughout the soil. Thats a lot of coffee grounds... Dunno where im gonna find all that haha. Is there maybe something like dolomite that would work. (I forget if that lowers or raises it)
Man them gals are beautiful. Glad to see that worry and work paid off . Lookin awesomeDay 31 of flower
